IT Project Manager

The IT Project Manager is responsible for delivering complex and business-critical IT projects within Global Blue. This role manages the full project lifecycle — planning, execution, delivery, and closure — ensuring outcomes are achieved on time, within budget, and at the highest quality standards.

A key focus of this position will be to lead the migration or replacement of legacy back-office systems (invoicing, accounting, transaction processing). While not mandatory, experience in similar transformation initiatives is highly appreciated and considered a strong advantage.

• You deliver and manage IT projects on time, within budget, and in line with quality expectations.
• You guide, support, and motivate internal and external project team members across the full project lifecycle.
• You create clear and comprehensive project documentation, ensuring transparency and alignment.
• You prepare and present consistent project status reporting to stakeholders at all levels.
• You address and resolve conflicts in a solution-oriented and sustainable way.
• You successfully lead the migration or replacement of legacy back-office systems, ensuring smooth transitions from current platforms to modern architectures.
• You collaborate effectively with technical teams, business subject-matter experts, and executive stakeholders, especially within domains such as invoicing, accounting, and transaction processing.
